Universal Display Corporation (Nasdaq: OLED), enabling energy-efficient displays and lighting with its UniversalPHOLED® technology and materials, today announced that its board of directors has approved a program to repurchase up to $50 million of the company’s outstanding shares of common stock from time to time over the next twelve months.

Universal Display expects to enter into a trading plan established under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to facilitate repurchases under the program. The amount and timing of repurchases will depend on a number of factors, including the price, availability of shares of the company’s common stock, trading volume and general market conditions. The repurchases may be made over the next twelve months on the open market, in block trades or otherwise. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

“This new share repurchase program reflects the Board’s continued confidence in the company’s strong positioning and long-term growth opportunities,” said Steven V. Abramson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Universal Display. “We believe that this program further exemplifies our continued commitment to creating superior long-term value for shareholders.”

The stock repurchase program will be funded using the company’s working capital. As of March 31, 2014, the company had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of approximately $267 million. As of May 5, 2014, the company had 46,493,987 shares of common stock outstanding.
